The curvedporcation. a tions 5 are secured to the outer faces of the Thisinvention relates to wagon bodies, Sideboards 6 and extend substantiallythe the bottom dumping type, Width of said auxiliary side boards, thesaid and the princi a1 object of the same is to curved portion of eachhingebur being bent provide the ho ice with an auxiliary board at an ande with relation to the body portion foreach side so that the carryingcapacity of said bar and with the angle of the bend of the body will beincreased, said auxiliary engaging the vertical shoulders in the auxardshaving, a hinge connection with each iliaif/ itle inwards. end of thebody upon which they may be vAdjacent the point of pivotal connectionrocked to swin them away from the sides to of each bar 1 with its endboard, an abutfacilitate loading of the body, after which ment pinSprovided which serves is a rest for the bars el when in raised positionsas indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2.

I In use, the auxiliary boards are thrown to the dotted position shownin Fig. 2 and the loading of the body proceeded with until the height ofthe side boards are reached, after which the said auxiliary boards arelowered thereby obviously increasing the carrying capacity of the body.

at I claim as my invention 1. As an improvement in Wagons, thecombination with a wagon body hawxihg side boards, of auxiliary sideboards riornnlly resting with their lower longitudinal edges upon theupper edges oi the first mentioned side boards, hinge bars nivotallyconnected to the ends of the wagon body and having 'curvedportionsrigidly connected to said auxiliary side boards, said curved portionsbeing arranged at an angle with relation to the'body portions of therespective hinge bars, said auxiliary side boards being pro vided withshoulders adapted to fit lathe angles of said hinge bars, and rests'torveaid auxiliary side boards adjacent the piv ts oi said hinge bars.

' 2. The combination with a wagon body having side boards, of auxiliaryside board having their ends shaped to torn. hand grips and adjacentvertical shoulders, hinge bars pivotally connected to the front and rearends of said Wagon body the free ends of said bars beingbent at an angleto the bodies thereof, and provided with curved and the loadingfinished.

In carrying out the objects of the invention generally stated above itw' be underof course, that theessential features thereof are necessarilysusceptible ofc angcs in details and structural arrangements, onepractical 'eml'iodinient of Wh1ch is shown in the accompanying drawings,wherein:--
